It is a Juventus that really want to get back to being the beautiful and winning team of the first few months, now more then ever that the season is getting into the crucial moments with the return of cup ties and the debut in the Europa League.

The team is continuing to work hard under the orders of Mr. Zaccheroni and to speak of the situation was Giorgio Chiellini who spoke exclusively on Juventus Channel:

"Why are we in this situation? There were many factors and finding the solution is not easy. If we understood it we wouldn’t be in this situation. In order to emerge we must continue to work, giving 110% as we are doing now and wait for the right spark to reignite the enthusiasm".

In the meantime, the objective is that of getting into perfect pace with the new coach and understanding his ideas, like the 3-strong defence to speak one aspect which is close to Chiellini.

"Zaccheroni brought a new enthusiasm, new training sessions and a new mode of play. We must only manage to put his instructions into practice. In his first matches against Lazio and Livorno we did not give great performances but with a bit more luck we could have won. With four points more we would have been in a different table position. We know we must improve, especially being more compact because in the last two matches we were a bit too long".

The first tests to try and find that spark which is so long awaited by Chiellini and mates are the championship match against Genoa and the one against Ajax in the Europa League.

"In the first round against Genoa we gave a great performance, perhaps the best one after that against Sampdoria. We did not win the three points simply due to certain episodes. The Europa League has become an important objective for us and it will be interesting to play against teams with a different mentality and way of playing from ours".
